InstructUIE

• This repo releases our implementation for the InstructUIE model.
• It is built based on the pretrained Flan T5 model, and finetuned on our data.

Requirements

Our main experiments and analysis are conducted on the following environment:

• CUDA (11.3)
• cuDNN (8.2.0.53)
• Pytorch (1.10.0)
• Transformers (4.26.1)
• DeepSpeed (0.7.7)

You can install the required libraries by running

bash setup.sh

Data

Our models are trained and evaluated on IE INSTRUCTIONS. You can download the data from Baidu NetDisk or Google Drive.

Training

A sample script for training the InstructUIE model in our paper can be found at scripts/train_flan-t5.sh. You can run it as follows:

bash ./scripts/train_flan-t5.sh

Released Checkpoints

We have released our 11B UIE model, click here for download.

Evaluation

A sample script for evaluating the InstructUIE model in our paper can be found at scripts/eval_flan-t5.sh. You can run it as follows:

bash ./scripts/eval_flan-t5.sh

The decoded results would save to predict_eval_predictions.jsonl in your output dir. To calculate f1 with predict_eval_predictions.jsonl

python calculate_f1.py
